There are several ways to find out your IP address in a Linux system. One way is to use the ifconfig command, which is used to configure network interfaces. To display your IP address, you can use the following command:
ifconfig
This will show a list of all the network interfaces on your system, along with their IP addresses and other information. Look for the interface that you are using to connect to the network (e.g., eth0 for a wired connection or wlan0 for a wireless connection) and look for the "inet" field, which will show the IP address.
Another option is to use the ip command, which is a more modern and feature-rich version of ifconfig. To display your IP address using ip, you can use the following command:
ip addr show
This will show a list of all the network interfaces on your system, along with their IP addresses and other information. Again, look for the interface that you are using to connect to the network and look for the "inet" field to see the IP address.
You can also use the hostname command to display the hostname of your system, which may include the IP address if it is configured that way. To display the hostname, use the following command:
hostname -I
Finally, you can use the curl command to retrieve your IP address from an external website. For example, you can use the following command:
curl ifconfig.me
This will retrieve your IP address from the ifconfig.me website and display it in the terminal.
